2005 Eurovision Song Contest winner, Elena Paparizou will Tuesday be releasing the first single from her new album, which will be followed by her first big tour in Greece. The new album is in Greek while a new English language album is expected for next year.
The new album will be released in mid-May, but fans don’t have to wait that long as the first single Porta Ston Ourano (Door in the Sky) will be available Tuesday the 8th of April. Photographer Kostas Avgoulis has shot the picture for the album cover.
In the summer Elena will go on her first big tour in Greece giving her Greek fans the opportunity to see her live. Manos Pirovolakis will accompany her on the tour, which will feature not only the songs from the new album, but be more of a greatest hits tour. Among those is without doubt My Number One, which brought Athens to hold its first Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 after Elena Paparizou had won the Contest the year before.
Just like Elena Paparizou, her boyfriend Toni Mavridis is born and raised in Sweden by Greek parents. He is a songwriter and has previously been writing songs for her albums so it is assumed that the new album will feature at least a couple of his songs.
The new album will be her fourth studio album and her first three albums has all been best sellers awarded with either Platinum or double Platinum!
